What did I think?

For everyday wear I love an easy to wear lip gloss or sheer lipstick. It gives a slick of effortless colour and comfortable moisturised feeling to the lips. But reapplying throughout the day is my downfall, and I find myself, more often than not, reaching for me lip balm to refresh and add moisture to my lips.

Lip tint/stain is perfect for those, who like me, want a fresh pop of colour on the lips but not have to worry about checking and reapplying after drinking and eating. So when I saw the K-Palette Long Lasting Lip Tint at Ainz & Tulpe, I didn’t hesitate before purchasing. If you have been following my blog and Instagram, then you will know that I LOVE K-Palette eyeliner and eyebrow pencils. completely obsessed. As they have incredible staying power, so I was expecting great things from their lip tint longevity.

So let’s get down to it.

I love this product and have been wearing it quite regularly since I bought it. It is easy to wear both day and night as the effect is quite soft and pretty. Not too intense. Also, with dry lips this is a really moisturising products which doesn’t need to be followed by lip balm . It’s the perfect lip product to stash in your handbag if you feel like you need a little lift throughout the day.

But in terms of longevity…this is not stain. It is a tint. When you first apply you get a glossy slick of sheer, pigmented colour. However the gloss transfers quite easily, and you can see a transfer of colour onto your glass or cup. So in that sense, this product is not long wearing. You will get lip gloss marks on tissue, mugs, wine glass etc. But what is left behind on the lips is a very delicate tint…and you can build on this tint to create a really nice long-lasting colour base.

To get best results with the K-Palette Lasting Lip Tint, I have found I need about 2-3 applications throughout the day to get a really nice “natural” lip tint. I really like this effect ,as the red tint is quite obvious when first applied but the stain left behind is the perfect Snow White, rosebud lip stain. So natural and pretty.

If you are looking for a stronger lip colour then this is not your product. Japanese lip tint seem to differ from Korean lip tint in this way. Korean lip tints give a very bold, fashionable colour and the Japanese lip tint give a more subtle, pretty effect.

If you are looking for a moisturising, natural, easy to wear lip tint, then you will love this one from K-Palette.

Pros

Thicker texture when compared to traditional watery lip tint/ stain making is easy to apply.
